VERKNIPT DROPS STACKED LINE-UP FOR GROUNDBREAKING VERKNIPT ARENA SHOW

Over 15 artists are expected to perform at the 40.000 capacity stadium show in Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff ArenA, including hard techno icons and long-time Verknipt collaborators 6EJOU, Alignment, DIØN, DYEN, Oguz, Sara Landry and Shlømo. 

After announcing the biggest hard techno event in history back in October of 2023, Verknipt is now lifting the veil on its line-up. Over 15 acts will descend upon the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam for Verknipt ArenA. The line-up is jam-packed with Verknipt favourites, including 6EJOU, Alignment, DIØN, DYEN, Oguz, Sara Landry and Shlømo to name a few. Verknipt ArenA will take place on July 20th, and with a 40.000 capacity it’s set to be Verknipt’s largest show to date.

Alongside the aforementioned acts, Basswell, CARV, Karah, Onlynumbers, Raxeller will take the stage. Notably, Cynthia Spiering, Franky-B and Ketting will be going back to back to back for a special live performance.

Verknipt undoubtedly has one of the most tight-knit communities in all of dance music, with this line-up being a solid representation of Verknipt’s artists family. “We’ve seen a bunch of artists that have started with us make huge steps in their career over the last year or so, how insane is it to bring the whole Verknipt family together for a show like this?!” Verknipt co-founder Mer Hajbarati added. “We truly see all of these acts, artists that have risen up the ranks with us, as part of the Verknipt family. We wouldn’t be able to do it without them.”

Tickets for Verknipt ArenA sold out just three hours after going on sale to the general public, another testament to the event promoter’s immense popularity. Popularity within their native Netherlands, but also stretching far beyond their original borders. In 2024 alone, Verknipt will be hosting events in Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Türkiye, each in venues fit for thousands of fans. Verknipt ArenA will be a milestone for the organisation as well as the hard techno scene as a whole, ringing in a new chapter of bigger and better shows for years to come.

The magic of Sol Fest is rounded out by Sol Sunday: the festival’s annual memorial segment that pays homage to their dear friend Quentin “Sol” Rupp, a passionate festival-goer who passed away at the age of 26. Sol Sunday includes, amongst other things, a special interactive sun lantern effigy burn and slideshow, where attendees can honor those in their own lives who have passed.

Sol Fest will also feature live and digital art installations, murals, hologram water screen shows, therapeutic workshops such as breathwork, yoga, and sound healing, as well as other daytime activities and games such as Frick Frack Blackjack, Sonic Portal, disc golf, tie-dying, and body marbling - a list that further highlights the festival’s dedication to emotional and social wellness.
